Yummy! We really enjoyed these. I'm still grilling even though it is raw and chilly out, and I might add dark too. I used soda straw sized asparagus, so I didn't leave them on the grill very long as I was afraid of scorching them. But they were done just right. Made for the VIP in Veg 'n Swap tag.

Really good! I took these along to a Christmas BBQ and received many compliments. I love the flavor of sesame oil so used the full quantity and it tasted great with a wonderful aroma while cooking.

Simple, easy and full of flavor! I was looking for a vegetable side dish for Asian Chicken Wings that I was grilling, and I had just picked up some fresh Asparagus. I made a smaller amount of servings, and used the smaller amount of Sesame Seed Oil. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as is. I marinaded for @ 4 hours. Oh, I added some Toasted Sesame Seeds to the Asparagus after they were grilled.
